CYBERSECURITY FOR THE ENERGY INDUSTRY CAN BE CHALLENGING

Our dependency on the electrical grid has made the energy industry an attractive target for cybercriminals. Globally, reports of hackers shutting down entire sections of cities have moved from science fiction to reality. Despite the growing threats, the energy industry is still largely unprepared and inexperienced in cybersecurity. It is important to deploy network monitoring to continuously look out for intrusions. If you are looking to remain compliant with NERC-CIP and NIST regulations, built-in reporting and log collection can simplify that process. If you have controllers or other IoT devices, it is a good idea to monitor them and control access as they are potentially a vulnerable area in your network.

Cyber Security challenges in the energy sector include:

• Maintain continuity of essential services and operations

• Manage SCADA/ICS vulnerabilites

• Reduce energy supply chain cyber risks

• Enhance cyber resilience of network infrastructure

• Balance continuous digitisation/interconnectivity with security

• Prove compliance with industry regulations

• Prevent and eliminate the ransomware threat

Key security questions for energy companies

Security questions organisations in the energy sector should be asking:

How are we managing security risks in the supply chain?

Are Industrial Control Systems tested for vulnerabilities? How often?

Are systems in place that can defend against sophisticated threats?

Are systems able to detect threats that have passed the perimeter?

Is there a plan in place to identify, respond to, and report breaches?

What systems/controls are used to mitigate insider threats?

Is credit card payment processing compliant with PCI DSS?

PROTECT YOUR CLIENTS’ INFORMATION AND MITIGATE RISK

Without proper monitoring in place, the average network intrusion will go undetected for 6 months. In that time, cybercriminals can gain access to physical security systems, industrial controllers, and customer and employee data. It is critical for firms in the energy sector to implement cyber threat monitoring to keep their assets and customer data secure. Our customers have utilized Clearnetwork USM to:

Gain greater visibility of their online assets and vulnerabilities

Simplify compliance with PCI, NERC-CIP, and other regulations

Boost security efficiency for overburdened IT staff
